"Tyler is one of the most loving, kind, and compassionate humans that I have ever met. He cares so deeply about people and it is obvious that everything that he does comes from a place of wanting to help others. He has helped me in innumerable ways since I have known him.
Most recently, we chose to do some work around my eating disorder and the childhood trauma that caused it. While creating and holding a really safe container, Tyler helped me travel back in timespace to my childhood. Tyler helped me to access subconscious parts of myself. He assisted me in engaging with those parts, and helped me see things from new perspectives. I experienced a lot of healing in regard to my relationship with my parents. He also offered me many tools and resources that I can turn to when feeling challenging emotions.
Tyler's energy is calm, grounded, comforting, and safe. He is truly so unconditionally loving, that when you are with him you know that everything is ok. I am so grateful to have met him, and for the healing he has offered me and my life.
I highly recommend working with Tyler in any capacity you are able."

"When both my father and my wife passed away in the late summer of 2020, I began a grief journey unlike any in my life.
Enter Tyler Rivenbark and The Beauty Way. When I first met Tyler, I was immediately struck by Tyler's history & wisdom with ceremony. His has a loving and friendly demeanor that not only resulted in friendship but an immensely valuable support system grounded in traditions that have helped humans experience life with joy and purpose for millennia. I attended ceremonies he conducted in the United States and a 6 month program before joining one his medicine trips to Peru.
I highly recommend all the offerings I participated in.
To say that I endorse and recommend Tyler’s work by choosing to receiving his offerings, would be an understatement. I believe I could not have made a better choice. I received so much from working with Tyler I can’t fully put it into words but I am incredibly grateful and I feel like a whole new person, with more resources and intelligence to live my life fully."

"Tyler works in layers beneath the thinking, problem-solving mind, softening unconscious resistance and effortlessly inviting in more of the change I want in my life. It is PROFOUND work that I would liken to a spiritual or medicine retreat - applied into concrete action in your actual life.
Because of internal shifts, I'm more attuned to my inspiration, more efficient and effective, and am more fulfilled. This internal "success" is mirrored in the outside world, in my business, and my relationships.
If you're holding a big prayer, vision, or mission for your life - or simply and beautifully, a desire for more ease and flow - I highly recommend working with Tyler!"

Tyler has lived in places that resonate with the rhythms of nature—Hawaii, Bali, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Mexico, and now Peru—where he has immersed himself in Earth-based healing traditions. When he was 25, a vivid re-occurring dream connected him with a 10th Generation Iboga Medicine man from Gabon. This sacred encounter initiated Tyler into the deeper ways of doctoring with the plants, as he watched and experienced the Iboga medicine heal severe addictions and traumas, his path clarified and opened. Since then, Tyler has embarked on several plant diets, both in the heart of the jungle and the U.S. He has received deep teachings and the blessings to work with the Huachuma and the Peyote medicines. His intensive work with Toad medicine in Mexico has been highly informative, and as a dedicated Sundancer on the Rosebud reservation, Tyler carries the honor of upholding the Lakota traditions.
